Re: The US diplomatic missions attacked in Egypt and Libya
Not true. Worship of the Greek gods was spread by invasion, as witnessed by the existence of the temple-city of Ai-Khanoum in what is now modern-day Afghanistan. Archaeological excavations revealed many temples to Greek gods in this city, the largest temple being that of Zeus. This religion was spread into Afghanistan by Alexander the Great’s war of conquest.
The related Roman religion similarly spread across their empire in the wake of their later conquests, which is why you can find the ruins of temples to Roman gods spread across countries that neighbour the mediterranean.
